Pokémon world locations

Mt. Moon (Japanese: おつきみやま Mt. Otsukimi) is a mountain located in northern Kanto, between Pewter City in the west and Cerulean City in the east. Climbing it is not possible. To get past it, travelers need to travel through the caves.

It is known for its frequent meteor falls. The shards of meteorites that fall here become Moon Stones.

Mt. Moon is also known for being one of the few places that wild Clefairy can be found.

In Generation I and Generation III, the interior of the mountain is comprised of caves spanning three separate floors. In Generation I, the items found within Mt. Moon include two Potions, a Rare Candy, an Escape Rope, a Moon Stone, TM12 (Water Gun), TM01 (Mega Punch), and an HP Up.

The mountain is also known for being home to Pokémon fossils. Brock digs for fossils here in his spare time. Also, Team Rocket tried to steal the fossils found in Mt. Moon in the Generation I games and the Generation III remakes.

In Generation II, on Monday nights, Clefairy will dance and pray to a large Moon Stone in the square. By interrupting the dance and breaking the stone using Rock Smash, trainers can always find a normal Moon Stone below the rock.

In the anime

Ash and his friends have visited Mt. Moon twice. Once was early in Clefairy and the Moon Stone, when they helped protect the Clefairy from Team Rocket and watched many evolve into Clefable. Also, it was here that Brock captured a Zubat. Later, in A Real Cleffa-Hanger, they encountered the Clefairy and Clefable again and helped the fairy Pokémon reunite with a young Cleffa.

In the Pokémon Special manga

Mt. Moon is first visited and debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in Raging Rhydon; however it is first mentioned in the previous round, Gyarados Splashes In! by Professor Oak. The mountain consists of several interconnected caves, which are the home of wild Pokémon like Zubat, Diglett and Geodude. Its importance resides in being the place where the Moon Stone can be found. For this reason Red and Misty enter Mt. Moon. Here is where the first confrontation between Red and Team Rocket takes place. Mt. Moon is also where Red battles Bruno in the beginning of the Yellow saga.
